Excerpt from The Story of Chartres
An excellent train, leaving the Gare S. Lazare at mid-day, runs through from Paris in one hour and a half. A good dejeuner is served in the train on starting. Returning from Chartres, most of the trains run into the Montparnasse Station, south of the river and twenty minutes' drive from the Place de l'Opera.
The road is straight and level and a favourite one with automobiiists. Chartres may also, of course, be approached from Normandy via Rouen, Evreux, Dreux, and, if you include Amiens to the North-west, and Caen (whence you will visit Bayeux, Lisieux, and Falaise) to the North-east, Chartres will be found to provide the perfect finish to a delightful and instructive, and also economical, tour.
An itinerary for those who have but a short time to spare at Chartres is suggested on page 352.
